Sweetpea is a green and yellow budgie that appears in The Secret Life of Pets. She is voiced by Tara Strong.

Appearance[]

Sweetpea's head feathers are yellow and other body parts green. She has a tiny bit of blue markings on her tail feathers. She has small orange beak and orange claws. She has brown eyes.

Personality[]

She likes hanging around with the other pets, even with Chloe, who likes to eat her sometimes.

Bio[]

Sweetpea is one of the neighbors of Max. After Sweetpea's owner leaves, she opens her cage, activates a fan and television, and flies with aeroplanes in a console game. Later, he appears in Max's Apartment and uses a laser projector to have fun with Chloe.

After Max and Duke are gone, Gidget gathers her neighbors for discussing what they can do, including Sweetpea. She pecks a glass bowl Chloe is at, by the time she is seemingly indifferent to Max's missing. Tiberius' sudden appearance horrifies all pets except Gidget, and Sweetpea hides behind a bottle of air freshener and then Chloe's bowl after Mel hits the table with fear. At last, Sweetpea agrees to join her neighbors to find Max.

Pops brings the pets to a cherry picker outside a building; Chloe is too clumsy to jump down, so Sweetpea pecks her hanging feet. In the way to the sewer, Tiberius catches one of the pigeons, who carry the pets to another apartment; Sweetpea chirps at Tiberius, so he lets the pigeon go. Later, Gidget encourages her neighbors after they are almost caught by The Flushed Pets, she claims that they are "dogs", Chloe says "cat", Tiberius says "hawk" and Sweetpea chirps, so Gidget says they are all dogs at that day.

She is seen flying with Tiberius on the Brooklyn Bridge and sitting with Gidget and watches Snowball jump in the ocean to save Max and Duke. At the end of the film she finally goes back to her apartment to greet her owner, who is a seemingly hardcore guy with who despite his appearance, cares very much about Sweetpea and other birds.

Trivia[]

  • Sweetpea is intended to represent a budgerigar or "parakeet". Unlike real-world parakeets however, her feet are anisodactyl (three in front, one in back), rather than zygodactyl (two in front, two in back).
  • According to Chloe, she likes to eat Sweetpea and probably regurgitate her sometimes.
  • Sweetpea was the first pet to notice Tiberius' appearance in Gidget's Apartment, before Mel shouts in horror.
  • At Pops' Apartment during the party, there is a bird that uses a similar model as Sweetpea, but recolored in which it remains blue and white.
